- shut 101i the flow of Water through bushings 2-1 and 22 as the valve plugs approach their seats on the packings 19 and 20 and thus prevent water-hammer. The valve plugs are bored lengthwise and screwthreaded to screw onto the stems 44 and 45 so that they can be adjusted thereon and they are counterbored to receive packing 54 and 55 which are held in place by followers 56 and 57 which are screwthreaded and screw onto the stems 44 and 45. The plug 11 on the hot water side is provided with an adjustable stop screw 58, protected by a screw cap 59, which. can be used to limit the opening movement of the hot water valve plug 50 to prevent accidental scalding where desirable,

as it will be apparent from an inspection of the drawings that when. the said stop screw 58 is screwed in to prevent the full opening of the hot water valve plug 50 the cold water valve plug 51 is prevented from entirely closing on the opening movement of the handle 33.' The figures of the drawings show the screw stop 58 screwed out so that the hot water valve plug 50 can fully open and the cold water valve plug 51 can fully close.

The adjustability of the valve plugs 50 and 51 on the valve stems 44 and 45 provide means for keepingthe plugs water tight even if the packings 19 and 20 wear because the operating mechanism is a form of crank mechanism and its throw can be lessened as the valve plugs are screwed farther onto the valve stems as will be readily understood.

The handle 33 can be marked on one side Cold and on its other side Hot if desired.

The valve can be usedin any situation or for any purpose for which valves are used and while primarily intended to control hot and cold water its use is not limited to the ordinary installations where mixing valves are now used but on account of its simplicity of construction and small cost it can be used in all situations where two valves or double valves are used.

It is preferred to make the valve plugs 50 and 51 from brass or other suitable metal instead of rubber or such materials.

The operation of the valve is as follows. When the screw stop 58 is'in the position illustrated bv the drawings. and the handle it through notches 24 as clearly shown by Fig. 4 of the drawings. With the parts in the positions shown bv Fig. 4 of the drawings, the valve plug 50 has not moved out Copies of this patent may be obtained for of the un-notched part of bushing 21, consequently only cold water can be discharged. On further rotation of handle 33, valve plug 50 is moved farther away from packing 19 and hot water passes past the valve plug through notches 23 to mix with the cold water in the mixing chamber 6, as clearly shown by Fig. 5 of the drawings. ()n further rotation of handle 33 valve plug 50 is moved farther away from packing 10 and valve plug 51 is brought against packing 20, as clearly shown by F ig. 6 of the drawings, and with the parts in these positions only hot water will be discharged. When the handle 33 is moved in the opposite direction the action of the valve plugs 50 and 51 will first permit both hot and cold water to pass (see Fig. 5), then will shut oh the hot water and permit only cold water to pass (see Fig. 4) and then will out off the cold water as well (see Fig. 3) as will be readily understood.

What is claimed is: 7

1. In a valve, the combination of a body provided with a mixing chamber and w:- terways in communication therewith and an outlet therefrom, said waterways being pro-- vided with shoulders and screw-threads, of packing seated against said shoulders, screwthreaded bushings screwed in said waterways against said packing and having their outer ends notched to regulate the passage of water, globular, metallic valve plugs fitting substantially water ti ht in said bushings to co-act with the notched ends thereof to regulate the passage of water, a crank disk, and valve stems connecting said valve plugs with said crank disk.

2. In a valve, the combination of a body provided with a mixing chamber and waterways in communication therewith and an outlet therefrom and a table in the mixing chamber, said waterways being provided with shoulders and screw threads, of pack ing seated against said shoulders, screwthreaded bushings screwed in said. waterways against said packing and having their outer ends notched, globular,.metallic valve plugs fitting substantially water tight in said bushings to co-act with the notched ends thereof to regulate the passage of water, valve stems provided with crank pins connected with said valve plugs and resting upon said table. and a crank disk provided with crank pin holes to receive said crank pins.

In witness whereof I hereto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
